I specialize in the areas of child/adolescent behavioral concerns, bullying, family loss, women-specific concerns and family relationship issues. I have a strong background in trauma and PTSD work relating to adolescents, adults and specifically, women. I am certified in EMDR. My therapeutic approach lends itself towards working with the whole family and outside providers whenever possible. Hard work can be done with the right balance of challenge and heart. I believe in my clients and am willing to do whatever it takes to guide them and their loved ones through the process of healing.

I have provided skillful, compassionate care to children, families and individuals for over 20 years. I have trained extensively in play therapy, trauma treatment, grief and loss, adoption and parenting. I offer modalities that include EMDR and Brainspotting. In today's world of speed and aggression, mindfulness has become a way to help my clients find deep calm and clarity. Consulting with parents on issues related to their specific child and developmental stage is of particular interest. I offer a free initial 1/2 hour session as a way to assess if my style and approach would be of benefit to you.

I also provide consultation and clinical supervision.

I work with adult professionals who are not getting what they want from life and empower them with agency and choice to live a life centered around what's important to them by helping them understand themselves and love themselves.

I am passionate about working with adolescents and young adults in finding their way in this world. Adolescence can be a beautiful and challenging time of intense growth and change. It's normal to need some extra support during this time, and I am here to back you up while you navigate the ups and downs.

I specialize in working with youth who are experiencing school related challenges, whether due to mental health, behavior, learning, executive functioning, social skills, and/or truancy and disengagement. As a school social worker of 12 years, I know how hard it is for some to feel like school is a place they want to be.

In addition to work with clients, I am pleased to provide educational consultation for families of middle and high school students who need help navigating the educational system.

I look forward to meeting you!
